49ers’ Dee Ford reveals he had extensive surgical procedure

After Dee Ford limped through last season while missing considerable time with knee troubles, the 49ers pass rushing star revealed Friday he took a huge step toward solving his injury woes.

Unfortunately for the 49ers, it involved Ford needing “pretty extensive” arthroscopic knee surgery two weeks after the Super Bowl.

“I had a severe case of tendinitis. With my position, that’s a blown tire,” Ford said Friday morning on a Zoom call with reporters.

And, while Ford told reporters the procedure has left him feeling great, he admitted he isn’t sure when he’ll be able to play.
